Monastic complex of San Salvatore-Santa Giulia and the "Capitolium" archeological area.
The church of San Salvatore is decorated with stuccoes and frescoes and is one of the most important and best preserved examples of Early Medieval religious architecture.
The female monastery of Santa Giulia, subject to the Benedictine rules, was built in 753 AD by Desiderio, a Duke from Brescia, and his wife Ansa. The monastery is the actual seat of the City Museum.
During the centuries various architectural modifications have successively enlarged the complex up to the size of the present structure that includes the three cloisters of differing dates, the Romanesque church of Santa Maria in Solario, the 15th century choir, the 16th century church of Santa Giulia.
The most important public buildings of the Roman age are concentrated in the Capitolium area, on the ruins of which the Lombards superimposed residential buildings, productive activities and burials.
